This was my second time making muffins which I’ve nicknamed the heavenly muffins. Why? because they’re the “healthy” kind. It did use whole wheat flour and honey & only 2 eggs so that’s gotta count for something right? The taste was subtle but just the right amount of sweetness too. I liked that it was healthier but didn’t taste like cardboard. I do like raisins but only in small amounts. Next time I’ll try cranberries.
Also, I used plain non fat yogurt & I used white unbleached flour since I didn’t have wheat.
It’s also my 2nd blogiversary! Who would’ve thought I’d make it this far? Thanks to all my readers for your support! :)
